Say trees!

25 excellent GoodGymmers met in Greenwich to help the council collect Christmas trees.

We welcomed four people to their debut GoodGym task - big shout out to Elle, Iyad, Cath and Adam.

We also talked about The January Challenge and how to help GoodGym Greenwich rack up plenty of good deeds and miles. The perfect time to get involved.

After a quick warm-up, we ran together to Deptford Park tree recycling point. Handily for those of us who haven't got the best sense of direction, one road took us all the way there - win. Having debated whether or not we were still in Deptford (the consensus seemed to be that we'd gone beyond the Deptford borders, despite what the park's name would have us believe!), we split into 5 groups. Each group was assigned a few streets from which to search/scavenge Christmas trees to bring back to the depot.

We discovered that Greenwich Council have done a very good job at collecting a lot of the trees but were still able to find a few that they'd missed, including some pretty hefty ones! Having lobbed them into the recycling area, there was time for a quick fitness game before heading back along the road to do some final stretches at base.

Good work team.
